Justin Sun accused WLFI's token contract of containing a hidden blacklist backdoor, to which WLFI responded, "See you in court."

CoinFeed reported on April 13th that, according to The Block, Tron founder Justin Sun publicly accused World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project backed by the Trump family, of implanting an undisclosed blacklist backdoor into its token smart contract. This backdoor grants the team unilateral power to "freeze, restrict, and substantially confiscate the property rights of any token holder." Sun claims to be the "first and biggest victim" of this feature, with his wallet frozen since September 2025, when he transferred approximately $9 million worth of WLFI tokens. Sun states that WLFI was never authorized through any fair and transparent community governance process, and its actions include secretly implanting a backdoor to control user assets, extracting fees from users, and freezing investor funds.
